DISTILLATE AND GASOLINE SPRAY.

Application filed December 23, 1919. Serial No. 347,015.

To (4U whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL S. GOOLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Distillate and Gasoline Sprays, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to apparatus for applying vaporous mixture to surfaces to be cleaned, and has for its object to provide a simple, compact, readily assembled and easily disassembled organization by which a blast of air can be directed when co-mingled with a vapor such as gasoline against a surface to be cleansed and especially for facilitating the removal of grease spots from enamel bodies such as automobile elements, and the invention consists of the construction, the combination and details an embodiment of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described and claimed herein.

Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section through a form of the device, parts being in elevation.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 22 of Fig. 1.

The implement as constructed comprises a head 2 of suitable material, preferably metal, having one end extended angularly to the longitudinal axis of the head and forming a l'GCQlVlllg portion 3 that is threaded at 4 to receive a removable nozzle tip 5 in the form of a short section of tubing. The nozzle end 3 of the head is also provided with an angular duct or passage way 6 intersecting a lower longitudinally extending bore or passage way 7 in the head 2; the inner end of which passage way 7 is shown as threaded as at 8 to receive the threaded end of a section of tubing or pipe 9 in which there may be mounted a push button valve indicated at 10 to the opposite side of which there is connected a section of pipe 11 having an exposed threaded end 12. said pipe 11 and the push button valve 10 being embedded in a suitable handle 13 preferably formed, as shown, in two parts, each approximately semi-circular in cross section and against one end of which the base of the head 2 abuts.

Also extending through the handle 13 is a smaller duct or conductor 14 in the form of a small tube which has one end threaded as at 15 to screw into the threaded lower end of an upper passage way or duct 16 extending longitudinally in the head 2 and substantially parallel to the larger passage way 7.

Adjacent the upper end of the head and disposed in alinement with the axis of the passage way 6 leading to the nozzle 5 there is an adjustable needle or screw valve 17 seated directly in the head and having its point 18 disposed adjacent to a complementary seat 19 formed at the entrance of a short communicating passage way 20 one end of which is threaded to receive the small straight discharge tube 21.

The larger tube 11 or duct forming partextending through the handle 13 may be provided with a main cook 22 to control the supply of a compressed elastic fluid such as air that may be derived fro-m any suitable source connected as by a pipe 23 to one side of the air cook 22. The small tube 14: extending through the handle 13 is shown as bent laterally across the lower end of the handle and deflected or bowed as at 14: to pass around the adjacent end of the pipe 12 so as to keep these parts in close juxtaposition, and the terminal of the tube 14: is shown as connected to a supply tube 2% through which a suitable cleansing fluid or detergent such as gasoline may be supplied to the device to be discharged at the noz zle tube 21 and mixed with the stream of compressed air discharging from the nozzle 5.

In. the operation of the device the air cock 22 can be opened and the needle valve 18 properly adjusted as may be desired to determine the quantity of gasoline to be mixed with the air discharged from the nozzle, and during the spraying of the mixture over the body to be cleansed the operator can accurately and constantly control the mixture by pressure of the index finger on the button of the valve 10 and at the same time valve 17 may be readily manipulated by the thumb so as to control the flow of fluid through tube 14;, ducts 16 and 20 and nozzle tube 21.

From the above it will be seen that I have constructed the device in such manner that each and all of the parts can be readily connected or removed and renewed at small expense and thus kept in clean and perfect condition for efficient use.

Various changes may be made without departing from the claimed.

I claim:

1. A distillate and gasoline spray comprising a head having an upper longitudinally extending bore, a lower longitudinally extending bore, a duct leading from the inner end of the upper bore to the inner end of the lower bore and a duct leading from the inner end of the lower bore in line with the first duct, the second duct being larger in diameter than the first duct, a discharge tube inserted through the second duct and screwed into the first duct and extending beyond the face of the head, a nozzle tip screwed into the end of the second duct and fitting loosely around the discharge spirit of: my invention as tube and extending beyond the end thereof, a

liquid conductor pipe connected to the first bore, an air pipe connected to the second bore a handle formed in two pieces the pieces being mounted in opposite sides of the pipes and abutting against the head, and means for securing the pieces together.

2. A spraying device comprising a head having an extension provided with an outlet removably secured therein and in communication with a lower longitudinal bore therethrough, a straight discharge tube connected with an upper longitudinal bore and arranged within the mentioned outlet and provided with a valve seated directly in said head, a supply tube connected with the lower longitudinal bore, a smaller supply duct connected by said upper longitudinal bore with said discharge tube, and a handle comprising two parts approximately semicircular in cross section arranged on opposite sides of said supply tube and said supply duct.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

M S. GOOLEY.
